T-minus 7 days to the start of the 2016 bike tour. This year, my friend Joe and I will be riding across Ohio. We will be self-supported, just traveling by ourselves with our bikes and gear in panniers.
We have researched a bike route that starts in Cleveland and winds southwest to Cincinnati. It is a combination of bike paths, country roads, and a little city riding. We will generally be following “Ohio Bike Route 1”, also known as The Ohio to Erie bike trail.
On Thursday, we will begin our trip at the Lake Erie lakefront, starting at the Rock & Roll hall of fame, and finishing 5 days later in Covington, KY – just south of the Ohio River in Cincinnati.
Along the way, we are going to try to see two or three cathedral churches to pass through their Holy Doors that have been opened as part of the Year of Mercy.
Pray for our safety in travel. I intend to blog a little as we go to share pictures and thoughts from the adventure.
Peace!
